QuestionSolve using the addition principle. $$2 \frac{1}{5}+x=7$$

Studdy Solution
Check the solution by substituting $x = \frac{24}{5}$ back into the original equation:
$$2 \frac{1}{5} + \frac{24}{5} = 7$$
Convert $2 \frac{1}{5}$ to $\frac{11}{5}$ and add:
$$\frac{11}{5} + \frac{24}{5} = \frac{35}{5} = 7$$
Both sides are equal, confirming the solution.
The solution is:
$$\boxed{\frac{24}{5}}$$
